Question

architecture & construction engineering
topography and technology
when a company wishes to use land for a construction project, there are a number of things that could possibly stand in their way. engineers will use technology to survey and check the land to make sure there is nothing hazardous. pipes, electrical wiring, and gas lines will all need to be located before a construction company can begin digging. topography plays a role in this, too. lakes, forests, and rivers are examples of things that must be worked with or around when starting these projects. engineers identify these obstacles and find the best way to either clear them out of the way or work around them.
choose the correct answer.
what kinds of obstacles do engineers look for with different technology and equipment?
animal habitats
gas lines, pipes, and wiring
state lines

Explanation:

The passage states that engineers use technology to survey land for construction, looking for obstacles like "pipes, electrical wiring, and gas lines" to locate before digging. The option "gas lines, pipes, and wiring" matches this description. "Animal habitats" and "state lines" are not mentioned as obstacles engineers look for with this technology/equipment.

Answer:

B. gas lines, pipes, and wiring (assuming the middle option is labeled B; adjust label as per actual option numbering, but the content is "gas lines, pipes, and wiring")
